Masked man

I hadn't actually heard of designer JJ Hudson before coming across these intriguing images of the designer. Shot by German photographer Axel Hoedt, they were the result of an editorial commission by Katie Grand when she was still editor-in-chief at POP magazine. What started as a request to create one portrait, morphed into a larger project that depicts a man who never shows his face to an audience. JJ's masks are part Disney, part S&M and certainly one of the most creative examples of fashion sustainability I've witnessed.
